Innocents Intonation
Robert Southwick Richmond said:

I know this tune well - it\'s commonly sung when the gospel reading is the account in Mark of when Jesus, right after John Baptist baptizes him in the Jordan, goes into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. The tune is variously called HEINLEIN or AUS TIEFER NOT. It\'s difficult to separate that text from the tune.

You might consider, as an aid to the singer, accenting syllables with unexpected stresses: thus \"When Heród in wrath did deign\"

\"Be\" in the 2nd and 3rd verses, where one would expect \"is\" and \"are\" respectively. African-American Vernacular English would permit \"bes\" (pronounced beez) here.

I don\'t know the tune ALBANO, a C.M. tune that I see is in Hymns Ancient & Modern Revised, not in the 1982 Episcopal hymnal (though it was in the 1940 version).

Why do you usually not give the verb \'to be\' its inflection?

You have a typo in your third verse.

A very good message in your piece today Orchidee.
Hate is such a negative emotion.

Martyr Missive
Robert Southwick Richmond said:

I suppose this text is to fit the Christmas carol \"Good King Wenceslas\", set by Anglican hymnographer John Mason Neale to the tune TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM.

Deathlessly parodied by Welt Kelly\'s Pogo as
Good King Sourkraut looked out
on his feets uneven

I\'ve always found this tune with its irregular rhythm very difficult to sing, but I can sing your words to it.

\"Es ist ein Ross\" means \"There is a horse\". The name of the tune is ES IST EIN ROS, often written Es ist ein\' Ros\' entsprungen, literally \'there is a rose arisen\'. The two apostrophes indicate that a final -e has been omitted (eine Rose), for metrical reasons.
